I have some deep problems over the kids growing up today.
- From the limited experience I have with them, they are terrible.
They do not look up from their PCs for three straight seconds, and they aren’t using that space-age tool to acquire any overpriced proficiency, that is for sure. I’m blown away time and time again by all the usual sense things these idiots don’t know. For instance, I learned recently that my 16 year old niece doesn’t know what taxes are. It’s not that she’s having trouble filing his own taxes, which is understandable – no, he literally didn’t know about taxes. Federal, state, or sales. I almost cried when my associate and I had that talk, and so did she. Don’t even get me started on my 14 year old nephew, though, because he’s even more clueless. The other day he particularly almost burnt down my dwelling trying to increase the air temperature by a few degrees. How is this possible, you ask? Well, I left the little moron alone to go rent a Redbox film last month, and in that time he decided the indoor air temperature was insufficient! Rather than changing the thermostat, like a human would, he decided it was best to light up the fireplace. Isn’t this off to a awful start? Well so was his fire. Apparently he could not get the logs to light, so in his “freezing cold desperation,” he decided to dump lighter fluid all over the fireplace. This would be a dangerous situation normally, it it was a wood burning fireplace… but, I own a gas fireplace. This stupid kid set fire to my fake plastic logs. The melted puddle of plastic and lighter fluid was finally starting to heat up the house, right as I walked in the front door.
